8. Not stretching

Unfortunately, most men spend way too much time sitting throughout the day. This leads to specific structural changes throughout the body, such as tight hip flexors, tight pecs and tight cervical extensors (the muscles in the back of your neck). At a minimum, every man should spend time stretching these muscle groups to help restore proper range of motion around joints. Neglecting these problem areas will almost inevitably lead to pain in your back, shoulders and neck.
